Dear Future Mama
My husband, David, loves Meghan Trainor, and Dear Future Husband was one of the songs we played as the guests exited the reception. Her songs are often playing in the background while we cook dinner or clean the house. He was pretty excited when he showed me she had a book coming out, little did he know I had already requested and been approved for it on Netgalley. As the title suggests, this book is written as if you are having a conversation with (or reading a letter from) Meghan as she is going through her pregnancy, giving you tips and advice for your future life as a mom. Now that we are married... I know that the "when are you getting pregnant?" question will be thrown around lots, especially witch Christmas coming up. Not that it is anyone's business, but unlike Meghan Trainor, I am not in a hurry to get pregnant. I do want kids, but I'm just riding the "not in a rush" train until the "you're really running out of time" station. I enjoyed the tidbits of information about her life, like I didn't know she married a spy kid, and the background info about her life as a singer and songwriter. I'll be honest that I didn't finish it yet, as I feel like it would be a good one to read once I actually am trying or contemplating getting pregnant instead of the classic what to expect books. But I did read a fair amount and can share that it is a great book and I think it really would be a good one for near-future mamas. Entertaining, interesting and informative, coming from someone who had some of the best support network and professionals on her side as a celebrity, this one is a great option for anyone who loves Meghan Trainor and/or needs a good pregnancy guide. I think I'll pass my kindle on to David for a bit before we start trying so that he can find out what to expect... he might actually read this one!

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read this one. I definitely recommend it!

I am not the target audience for this book, but read it because I love Meghan Trainor and follow her family shenanigans on tiktok. It has Meghan's signature TMI with humor style. Expecting and new moms should enjoy this.

While I personally am not planning on becoming a mama any time soon, I know that this is the guide I would want by my side if I was. Meghan Trainor genuinely makes you feel like one of her friends (without it sounding forced or cringey).

The serious bits were lightened with humor, and I sincerely appreciated her turning to experts in the field to provide the more factual information.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinions.

Very cute! I love Meghan Trainor as an artist and a person! I loved getting an in depth view into her life and her family. The only thing that I didnt enjoy about the book was that the text would randomly be a very light grey then the next page or paragraph would be black text. And also in the middle of sentences it would say "material Harper " This made the book not flow. I'm sure it will not be like this when it is printed but it just made it harder for me to read. If those flaws werent there it would be a 10/10

Really enjoyed Meghan’s writing style - super cute and relatable. A great book for expecting moms. My only complaint is that the e-galley had copyright notes sprinkled through the ENTIRE book, every page, messing up sentences and splitting them in half - made it super hard to read. Other than that, a fun and helpful read.

Literally the best book I’ve ever read! I’m not even looking to have a baby at the moment and I enjoyed it so much! Meghan was like listening to a friend! So informative, but yet in a conversational tone.
I immensely enjoyed it and hope she writes more books in the future!
